Venice, California thrash metal act with four releases since 2011. Their catalog — from the debut He Was an Arsenal to the intriguingly titled BABE SKEPTIC — brings beachside aggression to a neighborhood better known for street art and skate culture.
Melbourne, Florida thrash metal outfit with three releases since 2015. Carbon Black and Deathless deliver toxic thrash from the Space Coast, the poisonous name fitting perfectly with their corrosive sound.
Salt Lake City gothic metal project blending dark atmospherics with heavy riffs from Utah's surprisingly active underground scene, proving that goth-infused metal has a home in the Mountain West.
Los Angeles death metal project with a staggering thirteen releases since 2019. The Windows-error-themed Activate Windows and subsequent releases demonstrate a prolific creative engine fueled by digital-age absurdism and genuine brutality.
Bloomington, Indiana death metal project with nine releases since 2024, including a Russian-language noise opera. The multilingual catalog and academic setting suggest an experimental approach to extremity from IU's college town.
Atlanta death metal solo artist whose 2015 EP Remember the Sandwich brings irreverent humor to its title while delivering serious heaviness. A unique voice in Georgia's diverse metal landscape.
